Aussies went to work and died in 2019. Christopher was one of them

Let us break this down...

An average of 16 Aussies get up in the morning every month, go to work and die. That is 1 worker every 2nd day.

GOING HOME to your family safe

is a necessity NOT A PRIVILEGE

MISSION STATEMENT

We are a registered charity and foundation that allows us to help families, who have lost a loved one after a workplace death in New South Wales.

Our primary aim is to allow families to grieve in their own time, without the additional burden of everyday living. To this end, we will provide financial assistance by way of donating to the value of three months’ worth of groceries calculated based on the number of direct members of the affected household. In addition to this assistance, towards living expenses, the Foundation will also pay up to $1,500 towards current utilities.

For example

  • if there is 3 people affected it is $20 pp x 3 x 92 days plus $1500 = $7020.00
  • if there is 4 people affected it is $20 pp x 4 x 92 days plus $1500 = $8860.00

If you have been affected, please contact the foundation as soon as possible via email at admin@touchedbychristopher.org.au.

OUR GOAL

Our future long-term goal is to provide the same assistance to ALL families of all workplace fatalities regardless of industry, as well as add further financial assistance to cover 3 month’s worth of mortgage or rent. In order to be able to achieve this, we need your help.

Coming home safe from work, is a human right NOT A PRIVILEGE.

Our events will be our main source of fundraising and all money raised and collected via donations, nett profit from ticket sales or entry fees to each activity, raffles, and auctions are 100% given to the foundation for its charitable purpose.

All our activities and events planned are targeted to individuals and companies that are mainly industry related and will benefit the families in need as per our constitution.

DONATE

What can you do

Over the Black Summer of 2020, we also supported families who tragically lost a loved one while fighting the bushfires. We hope to be able to grow our supporter base to enable us to serve more workplace industries in more locations in the near future.
